Sunvalley Solar Inc., a turnkey solar energy solutions provider, has been awarded a 676.5 kW system installation contract for Raven Farms in Selma, Calif.
Once completed, the system will generate more than 1.1 million kWh of energy to offset 75% of the facility's electric bill.
Mehmet Cercioglu, director of business development at Sunvalley Solar, explains that with the current drought in California, many farmers are using wells to pump water and, therefore, running up their electric bill. He says switching to solar"has effectively removed the variability of cost of goods due to fluctuating energy costs and demands."
